The battery charger supplied is special to your Breeze and so it may not be suitable for any other powered mobility
product. Only use the charger supplied with your Breeze as other makes of chargers may permanently damage your
batteries and would void the warranty.
To charge your batteries follow these simple steps.
1. Switch OFF your Breeze and remove the key.
2. Plug the charger lead into the socket located on the rear of the handlebar console (fig 3.7). Plugging the charger
into Breeze automatically cuts all power to the electronics and the scooter cannot be driven.
3. Push the plug from the charger into a suitable wall outlet and switch on.
4. The red light will come on for “mains on” as will an amber light indicating the battery is charging. Green will light
when the batteries are fully charged.
5. When the batteries reach their charged state, the charger will automatically stop charging. The lights will, however,
still be on but the batteries cannot overcharge.
6. Although to get out of trouble the batteries can be put on charge for a short period of time, it is always best to go
through a complete charge cycle each time. Excessive short period charging will be detrimental to battery life.
7. For the best results and to prolong battery life, try to run the battery down by at least 50% before recharging and in
addition it is always best to go through a complete charge cycle each time.
8. Depending on the depth of the discharge, the minimum time taken to recharge serviceable batteries fully will vary up
to 12 hours. Please note that this time may increase as batteries get older. During periods without use (perhaps during
the winter) it is wise to charge the batteries every 4 to 6 weeks.
9. For the best results your batteries must be cycled for their first 10-15 charges. This means run them down as much
as you safely can in use and then give them a full charge. They will not work at their best until this process has been
carried out.
You will find that the distance that your Breeze can travel will gradually increase over the first few weeks of use as the
batteries reach their optimum efficiency after approximately 12 cycles of discharge and recharge.

Care! Warning
* Do not smoke or use a naked flame while your batteries are being charged.
* Do not use the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise misused in any way. Take it to a
qualified technician.
* Do not dismantle the charger. This will void the warranty.
* Do not leave charger plugged into your Breeze with charger switched off as this may discharge your batteries.
* For a complete charge – Do not switch off, unplug or interrupt the recharge cycle until the charging cycle has
completed.

* For longest life, your batteries should be recharged after reasonable use.
* If your Breeze is not used for a period of time, a refreshing charge should be given every 4-6 weeks. Never leave
your batteries in a discharged condition. This is particularity important to sealed batteries such as the type in your
Breeze.
* If your Breeze is to be stored away for some time, make sure the batteries are fully charged before storing. Fully
charge the batteries before re-using it.
* Every six months, check the connections on the batteries, making sure they are tight and clean.
* Breeze is fitted with sealed maintenance free batteries especially designed for powered mobility. They do not
require topping up and will not leak out even if batteries are inverted.
